Installation
RAID mode is enabled by default. AHCI mode must be used, otherwise the disks will be invisible. Using RAID mode will trigger a relevant log message in the journal.
Occasionally, USB devices may not show up in the boot menu. Consult #Booting from external media for more information on this topic.
Accessibility
The appearance of the UEFI settings is relatively simple and not very colorful, so it might work well with OCR software. It does, however, require the user to use a keyboard, mouse, touchpad, touchscreen, or pen.
The service manual contains shortcuts which are needed to trigger certain features, such as the boot menu (F12), settings (), and power/disk activity LED ().
Firmware
fwupd does not support this device yet.
As mentioned in #Installation, AHCI mode must be manually enabled in place of RAID mode.

Diagnostic logs (created by Dell SupportAssist PreBoot Diagnostics) are stored in /EFI/Dell/logs. It appears that there will only be two files kept at the same time, and .
Important updates
UEFI version 1.5.0 or above is required to change thermal profiles through dell-command-configureAUR (or Dell Power Manager on Windows).
Booting from external media
Often, external media will not show up in the boot menu. To work around this, open the UEFI settings, navigate to the boot section, and add the standard removable EFI binary at on the drive's ESP partition to the boot menu.
